NameWee’s Interview on Taiwan TV with English translation after the incident of Negarakuku song
Video Rating: 4 / 5
First airing on Saturday, January 27, 2007, this TalkAsia interview with Taiwan’s President Chen Shui-bian showed his and the people of Taiwan’s side of a story which is usually covered by the international media from Beijing’s perspective. President Chen spoke in Mandarin throughout (think the pan-blues will applaud?), and you can hear a good bit of the original audio if you listen carefully, but there is a voice throughout giving a mostly-accurate English-language translation. Who are the real “troublemakers”? Both China and the pan-blue opposition in Taiwan who have clearly ruled out giving the people of Taiwan a say in their own future.
